What is Buffet Ware?

You may have seen various trays, food warming racks, and food tongs in the buffet area of a restaurant or hotel. Those things are collectively called Buffet Ware. To put it bluntly, Buffet Ware is a set of tableware designed specifically for buffets. It is not the kind of bowls and plates used in ordinary families, but a more commercial tableware combination.

What is the difference between it and ordinary tableware?

The biggest difference is its functionality and occasion. Buffet Ware focuses on the convenience of guests to take food by themselves, keep the food temperature, and be neat and beautiful. For example, the combination of a heating stove with a soup pot, or a layered dessert display stand, is for buffets at first glance and will never appear on your dining table.

Why do buffets have to use Buffet Ware?

The reason is actually very simple. The first is practicality. Buffet Ware is designed to meet the needs of large traffic, such as being resistant to falling, easy to clean, and easy to take. The second is good heat preservation, which can keep hot dishes warm. The third is that it looks good, neatly placed on the table, which makes people want to eat at first sight. Imagine that you go to a high-end hotel for breakfast. Do those shiny silver dining stoves seem reliable at first glance?

Is the more expensive the Buffet Ware, the better?

This is not necessarily the case. The price is of course a reference, but the most important thing is to look at the material, design and usage scenario. Some Buffet Wares look high-end, but they are not convenient to use, which is useless. For example, if the lid of a soup pot is too complicated to open, customers will not want to use it a second time after taking it once. So choosing a Buffet Ware depends on practicality, not just appearance.

Where is it suitable for?

In addition to hotels, restaurants, conference centers, wedding banquets, company annual meetings, as long as it is a self-service dining occasion, are suitable for Buffet Wares. Now even some family gatherings have begun to use small Buffet Wares, which are stylish and convenient. After all, it is much easier to not have to serve dishes one by one.
